Quail

Quail wholey design and manufacture in the UK, using fair trade and organic cotton and other eco-ethical fabrics. Their range is designed to last and not subject to the seasonal changes. It is about sustainability, aiming to create classically inspired, timeless styles with attention to detail and high quality manufacture. Handloomed organic and fair trade cotton from India, antique Indonesian batiks (some up to 60 years old), various other recycled fabrics and genuine South African Shweshwe cotton are used to create a line of expertly cut shirts, tops, skirts and dresses.

Founded in 2006, by Shauna Chapman and Jason Clark. The aim was simple, to tackle the need for clothing to be ‘green’, ethical, well-cut and original. Quail creates all products on what we call ‘product provenance’. This ensures that the entire supply chain, from the growing of the cotton, through to manufacture provides what they call a ‘benefit in kind’, be it organic, fair trade or ethical.  Sourcing fabrics is about understanding the needs of textile producers; preserving a way of life, providing a sustainable economic and social infrastructure and taking care of the environment.
